After landing on Tresco, we’ll take a 15-minute walk to the sub-tropical Tresco Abbey Gardens.
A hidden gem established around the ruins of a Benedictine Abbey, stroll around these beautiful gardens at your leisure. Follow the meandering paths and admire the exotic succulents, towering palm trees and giant flame trees. Keep watch for agile red squirrels and majestic golden pheasants, and pause to appreciate the magnificent sculptures and haunting figureheads at the Valhalla Museum.
